Abstract:
Re-Routing the Postcolonial re-orientates and re-invigorates the field of Postcolonial Studies in line with recent trends in critical theory, reconnecting the ethical and political with the aesthetic aspect of postcolonial culture.
Bringing together a group of leading and emerging intellectuals, and mapping new directions in postcolonial studies, the volume includes sections on:
* New growth areas from cosmopolitan theories and the utopian to diaspora, the ‘transnation’ and transnationalism
* New subject matters such as sexuality and queer theory, ecocriticism, post-Apartheid writing and postcolonialism in new locations (Eastern Europe, China) ,
* New theoretical perspectives on globalization such as cosmopolitanism, neoliberalism and ‘affect’
* New writing on postcolonial pedagogies, the postcolonial ‘canon’ and the ethics of postcolonial practices
* Each section incorporates a clear, concise introduction, making this volume both an accessible overview of current concerns in the field whilst also an invigorating collection of scholarship for the new millennium.
